*PRE-ORDER, APPROX 4-6 BUSINESS DAYS* Canadian Perspectives on Community Development by Sarah Todd 9780776628646 [ZZ]

Paperback, University of Ottawa Press TAGS: CESD1006

This book presents a theory of community development that attends to multiple aspects of diversity and marginalization in contemporary Canadian society. It will be of particular value to graduate students in the field.

Founded in a perspective that speaks to the diversity of contexts and processes used across Canada, this work is nevertheless firmly grounded in theory, offering an in-depth analysis geared toward advanced study in community practice.

This depth is further strengthened by the diversity of topics represented in this collective work: community work in various regions of the country exploring issues of poverty and environmental activism; community work with immigrants and refugees, and with trans communities; feminist community organizing as well as organizing with persons with disabilities and with members of linguistic communities; and, finally, arts based community work with the elderly.
